Synopsis
Professor of narratology Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) arrives in Istanbul to give a lecture at a conference. But she slowly begins to question her identity as a rational academic when an antique lamp that she bought at a bazaar releases a Djinn (Idris Elba) who, in the fashion of Oriental fairy tales, offers her three wishes… George Miller followed up the adrenaline-laden, post-apocalyptic ride of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) with this eccentric fantasy featuring two stellar leads. Three Thousand Years of Longing, which premiered at Cannes, is a timeless story of love that, like One Thousand and One Nights, reflects the joy of storytelling.
